Hi there,
I have a simple site and an using a page called index.php so I can keep the site url's nice and short.
Ideally I want the url's to be:
www.domain.com/page-name-123/
For viewer URL's I have set the Detail Page Url to "/" but I get the url generated without the domain name as:
http://page-name-123/
If I change the Detail Page Url to "index.php" I get:
http://www.domainname.com/index.php/Page-Name-123/
So two questions:
1. how to I get the url working without index.php
2. why does the page name go from lower case in the first example (ideal) to default case in the second example?
Thanks!

Hi,
The '_link' field will just output a relative url (ie. detialPage.php?Page-name-123).
If you're using rewrite rules, however, this can cause some problems. Your best bet would be to not use the '_link' field and create your own link.
For example, if your using the title and num fields for (Page-name and 123) you could do something like this:
(EXAMPLE)
You would have to change the names based on what you're using in your .php file and what you have in the database.
Hope this helps.

$queryString = strtolower($queryString);

<a href="http://www.domainname.com/<?php echo $queryString;?>/">TEXT HERE</a>You would have to change the names based on what you're using in your .php file and what you have in the database.
